YES ORR I GOT THE LOG SIGNED. I went back with my stick and raked trying to find the snake and raked the cache out. Like I should have done to start with. Signed the log and then replaced cache back under log. (With the stick). Then to ER.
But I do want to say that with precautions this should never stop anyone from geocaching. I have already gotten back out there in the rough. According to stats more people get bitten in the own yards than they do out in the woods.

I'm one of the lucky few that can rub poison ivy and oak on my skin with no reaction. My wife on the other hand is very allergic. She can look at it and break out. O.K. maybe not that bad. On the other hand snakes scare the shidoodoo out of me. One look and I get the heebeejeebees. Found one under a log yesterday at "evil green" in cabot. I almost quit looking for the cache and went home crying to momma, but I pulled myself together for the smiley.
